On our way toward the last uber of the night, we stumbled upon a Johnny Rockets that would become the last stop of the night — the final chapter of our bachelor party saga. Why? Because, what better way to wrap up an epic night of libations, libations, sustenance, and libations, than with, libations!? More innocent libations this time: Milkshakes!...
Hot dogs consumed, we were back to — you guessed it — libations! Indeed, the first place we headed to was the bar, and yet, we all retained our mental faculties. Perhaps it was all of the pizza we ate during the preface to our night, perhaps it was Pink's, but we all held our liquor down through the fourth stop...
As the night descended upon us, and several libations in from both Melrose Umbrella Co. and Antonio’s Restaurant, the gents and I headed for a signature LA bite just around the corner: Pink's Hot Dogs! "A Hollywood legend since 1939" — according to their slogan — Pink's has been a favorite of mine since my UCLA days...
The first thing we noticed upon entering Antonio's was an elderly man sitting in the corner of the narrow reception area, who welcomed us before a server directed us to our booth.

I know what you're thinking: "Here comes a narrative not unlike the synopsis for the 2009 film comprised of alcohol-induced adventures staring Bradley Cooper."

Instead, I asked my best man to forgo the staples — scantily clad ladies, debauchery, and iniquity — and focus on slightly more sophisticated libation-filled activities...
This week the wife-elect and I picked up our wedding license! Upon signing our license in just a couple of weeks, we will officially be Mr. and Mrs. Ramdolfi! This experience has been fun, confusing, stressful, and ultimately satisfying — that is, once we had the license in hand. That said, there were some interesting items we learned along the way, namely, the following...
We have been closely following the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) from its inception back in 2008, watching it unfold one movie at a time in theaters. Even then, we watched every movie again leading up to Infinity War, and then proceeded to impatiently wait for Endgame...
Success stems directly from your ability to fail and try again. Success is a matter of what you are willing to do (and cease to do) to accomplish it. Success is less about skill and more about character...
As someone who possesses all of the will power to not buy unhealthy foods, but has zero will power to refuse the same foods when given to me, I wondered, just how far would I have to walk to burn off my favorite cheat meal...
